Minimal uImage (compressed Linux kerne)l size for PPC 8270 processor

Jul 05, 2007 0 Replies

Hi,



I am poring from Linux 2.4 to Linux 2.6. My board is based on PPC 8270 processor of FreeScale (former Motorola).



The uImage (compressed Linux kernel) size on Linux version 2.4 was ~ 720 Kbytes. What size should I expect on Linux 2.6 ?



What is the typical/minimal uImage Linux kernel size , assuming that I am using TCP/IP, UART, etc.



The drivers that we added are not so big in size, so loading them dynamically will not reduce largely the size of Linux uBoot Image.


Thanks,



Martin Roth Motorola
